Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 5337854" data-attributes="member: 19675">I wanted to play a Minotaur or Githzerai (even though I think the 4Ed versions are gimped), but the DM wanted us to be PHB1 only.So I thought about it and decided to play a Dragonborn or Dwarf, then settled upon Dwarf because the Dragonborn was too close to one of my most recent 3.5Ed PCs.As for class, I thought the new Warlock was a clear improvement over the 3.5Ed version.  I didn't care for the way any other class worked except the Ranger, Warlord & Wizard.  And I knew that 2 players in the group always played Wizards and Rangers...I didn't want to spoil their fun.At the time I was designing the PC, I was reading Brian Lumley's Mythos stories, watching Meteor Men on TV, From Beyond & the Phantasm movies, and working on some jewelry designs.That all simmered together to form a concept of a clan of dwarves who had discovered a connection between certain exotic stones (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallasite" target="_blank">Pallasite</a> in particular, being the remnants of failed "Aberration Seeds") and the Far Realms...and had started dabbling in the occult to combat it, fighting fire with fire.Because- incomprehensibly, IMHO- lore of aberrations & Far Realms stuff is handled by Dungeoneering (a skill not on the Far Realms-linked Star Pact Warlock list), I needed a way to reflect this PC's research on the topics, so I MCed him into Ranger at 1st lvl.At first, I was mocked by my fellow players, but as time has passed, Magnus Skyhammer has proven a valuable asset.</blockquote>
